12 bold, crazy, and definitely stupid predictions for Ryder Cup Sunday

Europe leads the the Ryder Cup, 10-6, and the USA will need a longshot comeback on Sunday to take it back across the Atlantic. We now have the lineup for the Sunday Singles session. There are 12 points remaining in the 2018 edition and in order to retain the Cup, the USA must win eight of those 12 points. Here are 12 crazy, bold, semi-serious, and definitely stupid predictions for this final day of 12 matches.


1. Europe wins the Ryder Cup, 16.5 to 11.5.


2. Patrick Reed aggressively shushes the crowd after winning his match against Tyrrell Hatton. This comes, however, well after Europe has already clinched the Cup. Reed does not care.


3. The portly, feisty Reed and the diminutive, temperamental Hatton have to be separated by their caddies at some point.

4. Phil Mickelson concedes his match to Francesco Molinari on the 13th tee. He is out of golf balls.


5. Unsolicited, USA assistant captain Zach Johnson opens the remarks in the team press conference after the USA fails to retain the cup. “It’s gone,” he says.


6. Thomas Bjorn ends up in one of the many bodies of water at Le Golf National before the night is over.

7. Assistant captain Lee Westwood makes a non-verbal contribution to the European team joint press conference transcript. He’s kind of an expert at this.


From 2012:


LEE WESTWOOD: (Making siren noises.)


And from 2014:



LEE WESTWOOD: (Not-so-discreetly popping bottle of champagne and sending cork flying). Sorry (Laughter).


[...]


LEE WESTWOOD: (Popping another bottle of champagne) (laughter).



8. Justin Thomas has a French fan ejected. Thomas and Rory McIlroy are out in the all-important leadoff match, where the pressure will be at its highest to either stop or snuff out a comeback. The French fans, which David Ferherty told me this year, “are f***ing rude, professionally” cross a line and hit a nerve with JT. There’s a confrontation, and JT tells the fan, “Profitez de votre journée, buddy.”


9. Brooks Koepka and Paul Casey get distracted comparing forearms and have to be told the group in front is clear.


10. Tom Watson barges into the Team USA joint press conference like Coach Shooter Flatch, and screams at Phil Mickelson, “Now, I’m not a mathematician, had you given us two points, we would have won The Ryder Cup. But the zero points you did give us were shameful.”

11. Notah Begay gives Tiger Woods a Teeless Driver to put in the bag for the final round. But Tiger, who looks spent, cannot get his glutes activated and is blown out by Jon Rahm.


12. Rickie Fowler concedes a hole, and therefore his match, to Sergio Garcia so he can run ahead to greet Thorbjorn Olesen in time greenside with a high-five and hug for clinching the entire cup.

Logan was the most complained about film of 2017 for a stupid bloody reason

Image
Hugh Jackman"s ninth outing as Wolverine was the most complained about film of 2017 in cinemas in the UK. Logan opened to critical acclaim last year and was lauded by fans of the X-Men franchise for its ne0-noir, gritty portrayal of Wolverine and was Jackman"s last outing as the mutant we all love to love. Following the rip-roaring success of Deadpool, Fox gave the go-ahead to give the next wolverine outing an R-rating. This meant fans were finally going to get the Wolverine movie they"d always wanted. Violent and gritty, Logan was a valuable addition to the Marvel franchise, throwing around blood with almost as much reckless abandon as the word f*ck. It was perhaps Jackman"s best stint as Wolverine and thankfully helped to wash away some of the absolute horror that was X Men Origins: Wolverine (yeah, remember that absolute disaster?). Logan was the Wolverine film we"d all been waiting for ; as Old Man Logan, Jackman finally got to play Wolverine the way we wan...

"Johnny English Strikes Again" for more family-friendly fun

Image
When spy movies were a big thing back in the 1960s, occasionally someone would try to spoof the genre. This almost never worked, except for the TV series “Get Smart,” which had Mel Brooks as its guiding force. Maybe the spy satire needs time, because it wasn’t until the “Austin Powers” series, and two “OSS 117” films (starring “The Artist” Oscar-winner Jean Dujardin), that the 1960s spy movie got its proper send-up. Right in the midst of all that was Johnny English, the British secret agent played by Rowan Atkinson. In “Johnny English” (2003) and “Johnny English Reborn” (2011), Atkinson played a hapless Bond-wannabe who tried to stay relevant during the British Empire’s decline, but could barely stay out of his own way. Those movies were built around Atkinson (still best known as the accident-prone Mr. Bean), whose willingness to fall out of windows and slide down staircases while clad in a suit of armo...

Wedding guest stunned by groom"s rude reaction to gift

Image
Gift registries are one of the most divisive features of modern weddings, but they at least guarantee the marrying couple will be happy with what they receive. Or so one would assume, anyway. One disgruntled guest has shared the "cheeky" (read: rude) reaction a groom had to her wedding gift, and it"s truly jaw-dropping stuff. Writing on Mumsnet , the anonymous guest said she and her husband had ordered a $AUD125 gift from the Amazon wish list featured on the bride and groom"s wedding website, so were confident it would be received favourably. Arriving at the reception, however, it was apparent nobody else had brought physical presents. WATCH: The only gift Prince Harry and Meghan Markle want from their wedding guests. (Post continues.) "People kept saying "We just got them vouchers/money"," the woman recalls, adding that even the groom said he wasn"t expecting gifts. At the end of the night, theirs was still the only gift sitting by the card...
